The chamber orchestra Marked Passages was first performed in Jor-dan Hall, Boston, 28 Apr 1928, by Nicolas Slonimsky and his ChamberOrchestra of Boston. The same set was played by the same group on10 Jan 1931?but this time as Sinfonietta, though the last movementwas still Marked Passages. Already, on 2 Jun 1928, the work had beenplayed in Los Angeles as Symphonietta, by Adolph Tandler and hisLittle Symphony at the Biltmore Hotel. On 7 Feb 1931 Slonimskyand his Boston group took the work to the New School in New York;they covered all bets by billing it as Marked Passages (Sinfonietta).
